Watir: Need help in defining a dynamic array

Hi,

I am new to ruby and hence need some help in defining a dynamic array.
What I need to do is this:

  1. I have 5 browsers open in my desktop.
  2. I want to assign them browser id’s 1,2,3,4,5 (should be dynamic,
    since 5 browsers, so using 5 browser id’s). 1 way I thought was to use
    the window handle (hwnd) for each of the open browser.
  3. So I used hwnd method and am storing it like @browserID = ie.hwnd.
    But I want the browserID to be a dynamic array which would increment
    everytime a new browser is open and will store the value of its window
    handle.

Can anyone help me create a dynamic array and store the hwnd to it as
and when a browser is open? Even if you can help me with the basics of
using a dynamic array, I would be satisfied.

Thanks,
Anukul

ruby arrays are dynamic.

ff is a simple example. it just automatically stores 5 watir instances
in the array. fr then on, you can access each instance or browser by
just referencing the array…

a=[]
#=> []

5.times do
a << Watir::IE.new
end
#=> 5

a.first.goto “www.google.com
#=> 2.032

a.last.goto “www.yahoo.com
#=> 9.719

a.first.url_list
#=> [“about:blank”, “http://www.google.com.ph/”]

a[1].url_list
#=> [“about:blank”]

a.last.url_list
#=> [“about:blank”, “http://www.yahoo.com/”]

kind regards
